		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Collins was A.W.O.L. last Sat. morning (in Bangor–her hometown; and more conservative &amp; rural CD#2) during the &lt;a href=&quot;http://tinyurl.com/2u5zul&quot;&gt;“let’s thank the troops”&lt;/a&gt; ceremony, BTW.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She was still down in the D.C. Beltway w/joementum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks to all of you for supporting Tom!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Being from Maine, and having come from a Repub family (not me-Eugene McCarthy!), it’s interesting for me to hear how the family has changed their tune. They not only hate Bush but also are embarrassed by the out-of-control GOP in general.&lt;br /&gt;
 A couple of weeks ago my sister told me that Maine is really high on Tom Allen and disappointed in Collins. I think that beyond the mere dollars Collins “lost” with Joe there looms the shame of this ironic situation, which won’t be lost on the of Maine.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;He’s still going to be a fungus among us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We may have the Obama/Lieberman connection to be concerned about about now.&lt;br /&gt;
Lieberdick knows a good free ride when he sees one, and I see him all over Obama on the Senate floor with lots of touchy feely action between them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;McCain is history, so our little epiphytic friend is surely looking for a new host.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Obama has also been quietly courting Joe’s favor since before the November election.&lt;br /&gt;
He and Clinton only threw a few scraps to Lamont so as not to offend the schmuck, but vote with Joe on many issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will Joe destroy Obama, too??&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Republikan campaign money isn’t free. HoJoe certainly sold his soul for it. It’s real “nice” (/snark) of him to help a good buddy sell her soul too. Goodbye to constituents’ best interests. Tom Allen really, really, really needs to win. Susan Collins may become a JoeBot and start telling constituents why it’s a really good thing that senior citizens cough up every last cent and give it to BigPharma, or something similiar.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Having Joe L. help is like losing three men and a dog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joe Lieberman: with friends like this, who needs enemas?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess I should revise my remarks wrt Shooter. I guess I’m not sure that he’s sociopathic and/or narcissistic. Both of my parents died from complications of heart disease. I learned a lot about how these complications affect brain function and, consequently, emotional stability. Shooter’s bad heart and ever-present stress is probably contributing a great deal to his unstable emotional state and questionable brain function.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interesting…but I think we should note for the record that there was never a time in his career as an alleged public servant that Dick Cheney was a pleasant human being.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think he’s been a lying bastard his whole life. His psychological demons get a huge boost from his cardiac disease. And, let’s not rule out the possiblity of some sweet karma in the future. Karma puts prayer to shame!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Just sent the following to Senator Collins…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Senator Collins –&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have followed your actions in service to our country as well-intentioned and often well-reasoned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the past the weight of your influence and voting has supported the interests of corporate wealth over the interests of actual people, but the amount of that regrettable but expectable Republican pattern has been, as it is said, “moderate”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, however, your full-blown association with Senator Lieberman degrades your “principled” Republicanism into an even less respectable “Independent”  ideology of duplicity — about Iraq, about Israel/Palestine, and about important USA issues like health care and government corruption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People - voters - are seeing-through the phoniness of Joe Lieberman. You tarnish the&lt;br /&gt;
deserved parts of your good reputation by associating with him. Why?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I encourage you to have the courage to rise above party corruption - whether Democratic or&lt;br /&gt;
Republican or phony “Independent”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why not work to bring back the words and deeds of good, humane, honest public service to your own - admittedly now deeply corrupt - Republican Party?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As difficult as this may be to achieve, is it not more  difficult to share Joe’s tar and&lt;br /&gt;
feathers?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for listening…&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Now that’s an interesting angle. What if Cheney has been rendered an intellectual cripple due to health problems and Clusterfuck’s too dense to notice?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I witnessed the brain function and emotinal stability both of my parents take a major dive when their hearts started failing. My father was especially paranoid, mean and cynical at the end.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
